What Boris said, plus I do not understand the motivation behind the policy either. More importantly: what drawback would there be in setting a global JAVA_HOME?
And even assuming the policy is actually sound, wouldn't it make sense to break it, if that improve the out-of-the-box user experience? On one hand, we provide a mechanism to point to a default JRE, on the other we purposefully force the user to tweak its environment to make use of it. That is not very coherent. -- JAVA_HOME should be set by default to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364794 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
